  Standing Tall - Leadership...

  US Army (Ret) Lt. General Robert...

  Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

  Awaken your future sense and predict your own future! 
  The future is a game. And this book will teach you how to win planetary style! 
  Anne Skare Nielsen and Henrik Good Hovgaard are some of the most prominent futurists in the game. Together they run Universal Futurist and travel the world to teach leaders and other folks how to be a visionary, predict the future and create their own unique vantage point. Anne and Henrik are crazy enough to believe that futurists can change the world for the better, and their own mission is to win the Nobel Peace Price before they die. If you buy this book, you’re invited to the after party. 
  ‘Future Sense’ will teach you how to spot trends, how to keep focusing on your goals, overcome your worst fears and taboos, train new and future-oriented skills and visualize a future full of magic moments. 
  You’ll move on from being a passive and analytical observer to being an active and rebellious co-player. And you’ll attune your ‘MBS’ – an amazing navigation tool that teaches you how to combine your Mind, Body and Soul, so that you are able to see, feel and believe in the future you want to create. 
  With 'Future Sense’ in your hand, you’ll not just be able to navigate the future. You’ll also know how to design the rules of the game yourself. The future will no longer hit you on the way out, for you will be the futurist, who can change the rules of the game and create a better world for others. 
  ‘Future Sense’ unlocks a new and better mode called Planetary. And you can only win this mode if the other players win as well. Success in the future is not about ‘more,’ it’s about ‘better.’ 
  When you can predict your own future, you must use the insight you gain to create a better life, but you can’t do it on your own. If you’re in the game for ‘more,’ you might win, but you’ll ruin the whole world in the process.

  Every human being on this planet has the most incredible device  in the known universe residing within their skull. Yet despite all  of us having more or less the same make and model, the vast  majority of users are completely unaware of its stunning  capabilities; let alone its phenomenal ability to  adapt.    The human brain adapts to the demands of pretty much any  environment. It physically changes its own circuitry to improve  performance in any behaviour that is regularly required of it. It  will change in a manner that enables skills and abilities to become  ever so slightly faster, more accurate and more efficient the next  time you come to do them.    The brain is constantly rewiring the 160,000,000,000 brain cells  inside our heads every single day, for better or for worse.   This process of rewiring for self enhancement is so gradual  that the day-to-day improvements are usually imperceptible. Only if  you continue to perform that behaviour for an extended period of  time, over a few weeks and on a regular basis, will your brain  change enough for the improvement in ability to become  noticeable.  By giving people a clearer understanding of how their own brain  works and by changing the common but false perception that you  cant teach an old dog new tricks, the main  objective of this book is to harness the revelation that throughout  adulthood, we can fundamentally change the very fabric of our  brains. As a result, we can subtly alter our habitual behaviours,  beliefs, motivations and eventually bring about profound positive  change. This book will provide people with a wide range of  brain-enhancing tools and practical skills to do just that. It will  help to bring about improved memory, improve mood management,  better decision making, more creativity, more effective management  of stress and anxiety and longer lasting brain activity into your  old age.

  The problem that lot of us IT managers run into is that we have a tendency to get all caught up in trying to manage the issues that are before us. What this means is that we tend to neglect the so-called "big picture" and this is a problem because that's where our IT manager career lives…
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  HOW TO PROTECT YOUR IT CAREER FROM SABOTAGE
  WHOOPS – YOU’VE BEEN REORGANIZED IT LEADER!
  WHAT CAN TOP ATHLETES TEACH YOU ABOUT BEING A BETTER IT LEADER?
  3 SECRETS THAT EVERY IT LEADER NEEDS TO KNOW
  In the big picture, we may believe that everyone that we work with "has our back". However, the sad reality of life is that this is not the case. We need to have the skills and awareness to be looking out for people who want to sabotage our careers. We can learn what it takes to strive for greatness as a leader by listening to what athletes can tell us. However, we're going to need to be prepared to roll with the punches if the company decides to reorganize and we get put into a different position.
  We always have to be on the lookout for that next job. If we want to keep our job search secret, then we'll need some help in figuring out what we'll need to do. Perhaps getting an executive MBA might help us in our job search.
  There will be times in which we make mistakes. Depending on how big our mistake was, we'll need to know what steps we need to take now in order to deal with the results of our actions. In order to keep our jobs, we will always have to be developing new skills. In our case, this can include learning how to make better presentations and how to use a color wheel in order to make better looking slides to go along with our presentations. 
  There is always a chance that no matter how hard we try, we may end up getting laid off some day. The good news is that they is not the end of the world for us. What we need to understand is what outplacement services will be made available to us and how we can best make use of them.
